Question

3. A pendulum with a 1.0-kg weight is set in motion from a position 0.04 m above the lowest point on the path of the weight.

Answer 1

Answer: K.E = 0.4 J

Explanation:

Given that:

M = 1.0 kg

h = 0.04 m

K.E = ?

According to conservative of energy

K.E = P.E

K.E = mgh

K.E = 1 × 9.81 × 0.04

K.E = 0.3924 Joule

The kinetic energy of the pendulum at the lowest point is 0.39 Joule
